Devices on a LAN have IP addresses which may be fixed and permanent, or dynamically
assigned by the network (DHCP). When attaching Ki Pro to a LAN, you should first talk to
your network administrator and find out how they want it connected (static IP or DHCP).
Your IT department will be able to supply the information you need to install Ki Pro on a
LAN.
TCP/IP Information
You’ll Need
If your LAN has a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses dynamically, then you don’t have
to configure anything (Ki Pro defaults to DHCP). If for some reason your IT administrator
prefers an assigned IP address that is fixed (called a “static IP”), then get the IP address—
you’ll be entering it in the “IP CONFIG parameter.” If your LAN requires static IP addresses,
then also ask your IT administrator for the Subnet Mask and default gateway IP address
(your LAN’s internet router). The following two topics discuss two different ways to set
up Ki Pro: via DHCP or via a static IP address.
Networking via
DHCP
The default configuration (from the factory) automatically looks for a DHCP server to
issue an IP address. So, as long as your network has a DHCP server (usually part of your
router—e.g. an Airport base station wireless router), then you need to do nothing other
than plugging the Ki Pro into the net.
